MEANS FOR SECURING DOOR-KNOBS, 80C.

SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent N 0. 722,885, dated March 17, 1903.

Application filed September 22,1902. Serial No. 124,492. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I. EDWIN PEARSON, asubject of the King of Great Britain, and a resident of Richmond, in the county of Surrey, England, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Fixing Knockers, Handles, and other Door-Furniture, (for which I have applied for a patent in Great Britain, No. 10,496, dated May 7, 1902,) of which the following is a full, clear, and exact specification thereof.

This invention relates to a new or improved means of securing or holding in position doorknobs, knockers, and such like articles, the object being to facilitate theiradjustment and removal.

Referring to the annexed drawings, Figure 1 is an end elevation of my invention. Fig. 2 is an end' elevation of same, showing the spindle or bolt and nut removed; Fig. 3, a side elevation of my invention in position on a door; Fig. 4, a sectional side elevation of my invention in position on a door; Fig 5, a side elevation of nut.

The nut a is screwed onto the end of the" handle spindle or bolt Z) and is then passed through the hole or aperture 0 in the door (Z, the nut protruding from the rose or plate 6, which carries the pivoted section or plate f. The nut a is constructed with the recess g, into which the pivoted section or plate f engages, thus holding the same rigidly in position, h being a spring for holding the pivoted section f in its closed position.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

In means for securing door-knobs, knockers and such like articles, a spindle having the door-knob, knocker or the like article attached to one end thereof, a nut screwed onto the other end of said spindle and having a transverse recess therein, a rose-plate attached to back of the door having a central hole therein through which said nut is free to pass, a section or plate pivotally attached to said rose-plate and adapted to engage with the recess aforesaid, a spring maintaining said section orplate in position, all in combination, substantially as described and illus- .trated herein.

EDWIN PEARSON.
